Pros

Good for your resume. Company performance is stable.

Cons

Buddy system runs rampant amongst upper management, promotion is based on that as opposed to having it be based off skill.

Pros

Everybody knows about this company. Job security is very high if you do not work on the manufacturing side. This industry will be around a while. Lots of room for opportunity in different fields

Cons

Management needs to catch up to the times. Classes being taught about millenials to tenured employees is pointless because they do not know how to handle the new generation of employees coming in. Culture is good from employee to employee but the work culture is not desirable... wear tie and slacks everyday... no facial hair... must wear suit if you go to corporate. No working from home, no flex time, and company is behind on internal technologies

Pros

Stable company if you do not work on the actual manufacturing floor, otherwise they do big layoffs. In addition, there is a lot of opportunity to move around to different departments and try different positions. This company is good for someone on the tail end of their career looking to retire. Good work life balance. In an industry where the product doesn't need to change, but this could be looked at as a pro or a con.

Cons

- Too conservative of a culture - Stuck in the "times". - Terrible company for professional development. - Low compensation - Subject to economic cycles - High turnover - There's a reason why PACCAR is rated so slow already.
